Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

A Voice In the Hall

I heard a voice in the hallway. 
Said “Good morning!” 
With a lilt. 
Startled me. 
It is 1:11 a.m. 
Husband is asleep. 
Dog does not speak English. 
It was a little girl’s voice.
I am in the hallway staring. 
Wide awake now...

Freddie Robinson Jr. January 18, 2019 at 8:32 AM I agree w/Susan ... spooky experience ink expressed, Caren. This poem delivers the shivers big-time. Nocturnal awakening sometimes can be surreal. Keep shining the light on dark shadow subjects. Aurora bright poetry. Love and more love always. Caren Krutsinger January 18, 2019 at 11:52 AM Thank you so much Freddie. I appreciate your appreciation. I hope your hair stood on end because mine did.

Susan Jeavons January 17, 2019 at 2:04 PM Oh I think I'd be awake too Caren! Spooky but thrilling! Caren Krutsinger January 17, 2019 at 3:14 PM It happened this morning, and I jumped up and immediately looked around the corner, expecting to see my husband playing at little "joke". Um....no.
